The purchase was not worth it at all.

This review focuses on the LENOVO IdeaPad 330-15IKBR 81DE015GRU, which has the following specifications: Intel Core i5 8250u processor, 8GB RAM, 1000GB/1TB hard drive, no optical drive, and Intel UHD Graphics 620. , I ask that you please include it in your database. Got pros: + Intel Core i5 8250 processor (hello Meltdown and 100500 Specter variants). Add 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Memory (2 modules of 4GB each - one is probably sewn into the mother - did not disassemble). The screen can rotate up to 180 degrees and weighs 2.2 kilograms. The power supply is very lightweight. + The price for 2022 is 33,000 less than the price for 2022-07. In the states, for the same amount of money, you can purchase something that is a significant step up in quality. + 1 USB-C connector; however, only USB 3.1 Gen 1 is supported (5Gbps). + One hundred percent compatible with Linux; everything, including wireless networking, works right out of the box. Having this drawback: - Horrible cooling system: the fan operates continuously, even when there is no load (4W heat dissipation according to monitoring readings). Even under light stress, such as while Windows is running, the fan will start screaming like it's on a plane taking off. It is a major violation of the terms of service to set the laptop down on a bed or any other soft surface. It's cool to have a Full HD screen. Nearly. Only the viewing angles are such that if you sit exactly perpendicular to the screen, at arm's length, with your eyes in the middle of the screen, you will be able to see the light coming from both above and below! When the deviation is sufficiently large, the picture is completely lost. This place is terrible. I have never before witnessed such abhorrence. Hard drive thrown out with the trash. 5400 RPM and moving at a glacial pace. It is preferable to get and install the SSD. - Webcam, 0.3 megapixels, for quality control purposes. Windows 10 behaves in an unusual manner: when in typical power saving mode, performance is severely degraded; this is most likely due to a mistake in the BIOS. Single thread mode for WinRAR: 1150 kilobits per second in energy-saving mode Maximum throughput is 1450 KB/second, which is a 26% improvement! Windows was installed from scratch, including the license; all that was left was the installation of drivers and WinRAR. - There is no Light to indicate whether the HDD or SSD is working. This is a really depressing development, but unfortunately, such is the norm in our time.
